Fulltone Fulldrive Mosfet totally rocks and...

...absolutely fucking rocks, hands down
my first experience with it, traded it for Wampler Pinnacle. When it comes to ODs, i look for transparency and twangy punch... this has tons of both
the Standart mode seemed pretty shit to me but since i tried the Mosfet mode, i've been lost (in awesomeness)
i'm currently comparing it with Catalinbread DLS - one has to go... i've been more than happy with DLS on 12V, but now i'm not sure... it's a bit more "farty" than the Fulldrive and even on 12V the Fulldrive (9V) seems to be more dynamic and clear... like that kind of pedals you'd leave on for the whole set
btw i didn't really like Fulldrive on 12V
another pro is that it sounds so great after my Pigtronix EP-1 that i might not want to sell it anymore
i tried it in front and after Fix'd Fuzz and i love it in front of it... even for leads (DLS was always after - with great results)
there is however a strange con - the mosfet mode with wah just sounds a bit weird, especially used for funk rhythm (yeah, i'm into that... my last band was very funk oriented)
and the boost is a bit weird... surprisingly making things pretty muddy sometimes...
anyway... these are my thoughts right now... it will be a tough fight, but so far Fulltone is winning
edit: also thanks to the ILFer who recommended trying it to me
i don't remember who it was though...
